Hampton Inn

No complaints, however I was surprised that the room had no fridge or microwave. The breakfast area is small. This wasn’t a problem for me and I would still recommend this hotel. The staff are friendly and there are lots of food options nearby.

Can’t beat the location. Very close to campus. But not up to Hampton par. No fridge or microwave in room, lobby and breakfast area quite small. Housekeeping never showed up. Not that it mattered because I found fresh towels in the gym area. I don’t think they have to try very hard based on the good location, but I am surprised that Hilton does not keep them up to par. I’m HH Diamond and I’ve stayed a million Hilton properties, so this is not sour grapes.

Good location and easy to find. From the front I can see Mcdonald, bank, Buffalo Wild Wings and a few other places to eat.

No parking available when we arrived because they did nothing to prevent non-​guests from using lot prior to the football game. We did find a spot after the game but it was still very limited.
Room definitely in need of a refresh. Most of the furniture scratched and worn.
While room was clean for the most part, not as thorough as you would expect. Layer of dust under TV stand visible without moving it and stand was turned slightly crooked and draws your eye to it.
Toilet seat was cracked all the way through on one side. You can’t miss it when you clean. Should have been replaced before having another guest stay in room.
I realize that they overbook on Football weekends due to a typical higher cancellation percentage, but no excuse for sloppiness and failing general upkeep.

SECURITY ALERT
As a business traveler, I need to use the internet — often for business, sometimes for fun. Having a few hours to kill, I ordered some things on-​line (with a card I haven’t used before). I did not realize that their wifi was not secure. The log-​in with a username and password is NOT for security reasons. How do I know? My credit card information was stolen and has been used in the UK this week. Thank goodness my credit card company notified me immediately. As I was at the Hampton Inn on government business, I couldn’t be more upset.
Breakfast was fine if you like eggs (I don’t). In room coffee was horrible. Free cookies? never even knew they were there.

Great location, plenty of restaurants nearby.
Rooms are clean, big, and modern. Towels are small and rough. Not many channels provided.
Gym is small and crowded. One bike, one treadmill, one elliptical, and some free weights. They never have towels or ear pieces stocked.
Breakfast is from 6 – 10. Some hot items, typical continental breakfast, but seriously lacking in the fresh fruit department.

Hampton Inns are my go to chain when traveling. Reliable internet, decent cable tv options, free coffee in the morning.
Unfortunately, the Hampton Inn in Starkville is located on a busy corner near MSU that has NO crosswalk. So even though there is a café across the street only way to get there safely is in your car. Want to go to Miss St. campus, well you better be prepared to drive or walk along the highway, even though it’s less than a ¼ of mile away.
Additionally, I was in room 120 and the sink clogged up. I let front desk know and they drained it but it clogged up again. They seemed to know about the problem which implied this had been going on and not fixed correctly in the past.
Overall, options in Starkville are limited, for football games Comfort Inn might be better as you can walk safely across bridge to campus and the game.

This is the second time I’ve stayed at this Hampton for business. Clean rooms and great prices. Breakfast is included, but nothing to write on Unilocal about. They were out of those amazing free cookies they have at check-​in, but seeing as how those things taste like sex with powdered sugar on top, I’m sure they can’t bake them fast enough. This is my first choice for a hotel in Starkville, so I’m sure I’ll be back in the future. Those Hampton beds are famous for a reason.
